For many people, this past St. Patrick’s Day was a time of party and fun, all things Irish and green. But according to its original purpose, the holiday was meant to be a holy day, time set apart for spiritual renewal and offering prayers for missionaries worldwide, as this was the heart of who St. Patrick was.
Time is elusive, but we do find the time for the things that are important to us. Setting aside time for spiritual growth each day is vital to a strong relationship with God. St. Patrick’s own passion for the Lord can be our inspiration for daily spiritual renewal…let’s follow his lead! Take a moment to read through the following verse, meditating on the Truth revealed.
Psalm 103:2, “Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not His benefits–who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagles.”
Yesterday’s devotional showed how St. Patrick used a shamrock as a teaching tool explaining the Trinity…God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit. Let’s follow St. Patrick’s lead! Take a minute to look around you, to stop and breathe and think…
~Can you see something in your life that represents or symbolizes God’s character or workmanship?
~How has His unfailing love been revealed to you today?
